Bring the fun!

Streets Alive! Ithaca is, at its simplest, a day where the streets are closed to cars and open to people. Anyone can join in and make fun happen. Simply chalk a space and leave at least half the street open for people to walk, bike, and roll by. The possibilities are almost endless: hula hooping, jump rope, hopscotch, street hockey, frisbee, basketball… Or practice your unicycling, play a little acoustic music, run a lemonade stand, build a fort…

Streets Alive! Ithaca is a unique opportunity to be a part of a new exciting community event that transforms our city streets into an active urban space for recreation and social integration. It will also be a great marketing opportunity for forward-thinking brands associated with sustainability and active, healthy living.
